Suddenly the unexpected happened,Moses was minding his father-in -law's sheep,when he noticed something strange a bush was on fire, yet it was not being consumed. Then out of that bush a voice spoke'Moses! Moses! it was God speaking, Moses replied,'Here I am'. Then God spoke again,'Do not come any closer,' 'Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing is holy ground'.'We read about this encounter in Exodus 3.an encounter with God,at this stage God was not revealing Himself as Abba , which is a very personal name for God, like daddy.Although that is true,God is holy and awesome,and must always be treated with reverence.When Christ came and give his life up for us, all who have trusted Jesus would be brought into a wonderful close relationship with God, Catesly Paget wrote.
'Near,so very near to God,
Nearer I could not be;
For, in the person of His Son,
I, am as near as He.
Because of Jesus we have wonderful access into the presence of God,so let us not hang back in fear, but let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.There we will find grace to help us when we need it most ( Hebrews 4 v 16)
